📋 About This Mod

Main Files:

Doubles Active Probe range (BAP and EW Active Probe)

Doubles ECM range (Guardian ECM and EW Countermeasures)

Archived for now:

BuffECM - No slot restrictions, double range

BuffActiveProbe - No slot restrictions, double range

Buff ECM and Active Probe for YAML

Use this version if using Yet Another Mechlab.

Changes the way that slot restriction are removed and has no workaround for showing in ""is valid"" list for mech with no ecm/ap slot.

Load after YAML, default load order is set to 10.

ElectronicWarfareBuff - Doubles range for clan ecm, clan active probe and bloodhound active probe

Required mods: Yet Another Mechlab and Yet Another Weapons Clan - load ElectronicWarfareBuff after both required mods.

Sorry, instead Yet Another Mechlab and Yet Another Weapons Clan need to be loaded after ElectronicWarfareBuff as it changes non base game files.

Note: If using ElectronicWarfareBuff with BetterCrates YAWC, ElectronicWarfareBuff needs to be loaded before BetterCrates, say:

In each mods mod.json

Buff ECM and Active Probe for YAML load order - 15

Yet Another Mechlab load order - 10

Yet Another Weapons Clan load order - 5

BetterCrates YAWC load order - 4

ElectronicWarfareBuff load order - 0

Important!

Use only either a Mainfile or Optional file (example - IncreaseECMRange and BuffActiveProbe, or only both main or optional files)

Requires DLC - Heroes of the Inner Sphere

Installation:

Extract the mod folder to your MW5Mercs\Mods folder.

To use with Yet Another Mechlab have my mod with a load order higher. Example: YetAnotherMechlab mod.json load defaultLoadOrder=1, BuffECM defaultLoadOrder=2 etc.

Thanks to cszolee79 for his awsome mods and help.

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

This mod doubles the range of ECM and Active Probe equipment in MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries. It requires DLC 1 and is compatible with DLC 2, with optional versions for YAML and YetAnotherWeaponsClan. A simple tweak for players who want longer-range electronic warfare.

✨ Key Features

Doubles the range of ECM and Active Probe equipment.
Requires DLC 1 but works with DLC 2 without needing it.
Includes a version for YAML and YetAnotherWeaponsClan mods.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Simple and effective: doubles the range of ECM and Active Probes, making them more useful in combat.
  • Compatible with popular mods YAML and YetAnotherWeaponsClan, so modded players can use it too.
  • Decent community support with 115 endorsements and nearly 3,000 downloads.

⚠️ Cons

  • Only affects range, not other stats like duration or power consumption, so the buff is limited.
  • Requires DLC 1, which locks out players who don't own that content.
  • Last updated in early 2022, so it may not be compatible with the latest game patches or DLC.
🎯 Is This For You?
For MechWarrior 5 players who want to extend their electronic warfare capabilities without overhauling the game. If you use YAML or YetAnotherWeaponsClan, the included versions are a plus. Skip if you're looking for more comprehensive ECM changes or don't own DLC 1.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 5 minutes

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you own DLC 1, as the mod requires it to function.
  • If you use YAML or YetAnotherWeaponsClan, download the corresponding version from the mod page to avoid conflicts.
  • Place the mod folder in your MechWarrior 5 Mods directory and enable it in the mod menu.
